Damansara-Shah Alam (DASH) elevated expressway was concluded

The Selangor government has agreed to include the Damansara-Shah Alam (DASH) elevated expressway alignment into the Petaling Jaya City Plan 2 (RTPG 2). This was concluded at the Selangor state exco meeting on May 13.

However, the state government has agreed to include parts of the alignment that is not subject to any protest from residents. The objections are from the Damansara Perdana and Mutiara Damansara residents. The residents had been objecting to DASH since 2012 because it was too close to residential homes in their area, with some barely 30 metres away from the expressway.

DASH, costing about RM4 billion, will be a 20.1km, three-lane expressway. The areas along the proposed route for DASH are Shah Alam's Puncak Perdana U10, Alam Suria, Denai Alam, Kampung Melayu Subang, Rubber Research Institute Malaysia, Kota Damansara, Mutiara Damansara and Damansara Perdana.

It will then link users to the Lebuhraya Damansara Puchong (LDP) and Sprint highways.

The expressway will also serve motorists from Puncak Perdana, Alam Suria, Denai Alam, Kampung Melayu Subang, Jalan Sungai Buloh, the Rubber Research Institute Malaysia, Kota Damansara, Damansara Perdana and Mutiara Damansara.
